Re: Application for a new pawnbroker license located at 5445 Lakeland Ave. N.,
submitted by EZPAWN Minnesota, Inc. DBA Max It Pawn
A. Background
The corporate offices of Cash-N-Pawn International, Ltd. contacted city staff regarding
their plans to implement a corporate reorganization to simplify its organizational
structure.
The reorganization includes dissolving Cash-N-Pawn International, Ltd. and its
subsidiaries and transferring licenses within those entities to a larger parent
company, EZPAWN Minnesota, Inc. (Exhibit A)
Per city code, pawnbroker licenses are non-transferable. Therefore, EZPAWN
Minnesota, Inc. has applied for a new pawnbroker license as the sole owner of Max It
Pawn. This is a corporate reorganization only, and as a result, the store location,
management, functions, processes, and policies will remain the same.
B. Application Review
1. City staff reviewed the application documents per City Code Section 1177 -
Pawnbrokers.
2. A background investigation was completed by Crystal Police Department. Police
Chief Revering finds no reason to prohibit issuance of the license.
3. The property is current on utility payments and property taxes.
4. The applicant received a copy of the city code pertaining to pawnbrokers, which
includes city licensing conditions and the Council’s policy regarding civil fines and
penalties for violation of ordinances and laws.
